Show me your compact pedalboard setup

Right on. How's it compare with running at 9v? I assume that's about getting more clean headroom, rather than, say, keeping the low end intact? I find some drive pedals that aren't oriented for bass can suck out too much bottom


Yeah I think at 9v it may break up earlier. I’ve always ran it at 18v and keep the bass knob between noon-3. Never had any low end loss issues.

I’m trying an (almost) all dirt, all the time approach to my compact board…

Like the title suggests, I want to see pictures of small tight boards. I own a pedaltrain junior and find it large to move around but I do anyway because I use everything in it for my sabbath tribute gig and some synth rap stuff I'm starting.

However for my punkska band its overkill. Im planning on getting or building a second board and I don't plan on using much more than 3 effects (at most) and for very little of the songs covered. Overdrive that can double as mild distortion, envelope filter and maybe chorus. Are there pedal power supplies smaller than the standard that powers 8 or 9 pedals?

Here's my main board which won't change by the way. I want something atleast half in size in weight, maybe a third would be ideal.

Suggestions and pics please...

A 90-degree solution to my Bassrig SV not quite fitting on my Nano+. Not sure if I’ll keep it like this, but it’s an always-on pedal to make my IEM rig sound more amp’like, so accessing the footswitch is a non-issue since it engages when powered on.

The perspective makes it look longer than the board, but it’s actually a perfect fit.
